Civic IDEA is pleased to present its latest publication, Georgia’s Investment Landscape: Comparative Analysis of Chinese and Western Investments (2018–2025).
This report provides a comprehensive analysis of Chinese foreign direct investment (FDI) in Georgia, based on official data from the National Statistics Office of Georgia. A closer examination of Chinese FDI flows reveals that, contrary to the expectations promoted by the Georgian Dream party, Chinese investment in Georgia has continued to decline.
The study contrasts these official statistics with public statements made by Georgian and Chinese officials, uncovering the gap between rhetoric and reality, as well as the recurring manipulation of investment-related information.
Furthermore, the report adopts a comparative perspective by examining Chinese FDI alongside Western investment flows. The findings highlight a striking contrast: while Chinese FDI has sharply decreased, Western countries remain Georgia’s leading investors. This comparison underscores the limited role of Chinese capital in Georgia’s economy and challenges prevailing political narratives.
